Before & After Photos

A home in Lansing had cracks in the driveway and basement floor, allowing water to seep in and weeds to grow through. To fix the issues, the cracks were sealed, and uneven areas were leveled with PolyLevel. The repairs left the driveway and basement smooth, safe, and protected from future damage.

Homeowners in Lansing, MI were experiencing frequent water puddles in the corner of their basement. The problem? No sump pump!

We installed SuperSump. With the option of a backup pump, this system can pump out up to 2,220 gallons of water per hour. As this basement has occasional puddles and damp areas, this pump system was a perfect fit as it will work to keep the basement dry and healthy for extended periods of time. 

This 1958 home was struggling with water leaking into the basement. While the cinder block walls had stood the test of time, they were starting to fail against water pressure. To stop the leaking water from puddling on the basement floor, the crew installed a perimeter drainage system. You can see part of the metal pipe resting at the foot of the wall in the after photo.

Perimeter Drainage systems, like WaterGuard, sit in the floor and wall joint to collect water that runs down the wall and then directs it to the sump pump. The sump will then pump the water out of the basement and to a LawnScape outlet for discharge. Also visible in the after photo are the inspection ports where the system can be checked for clogging or obstructions that would stop the system from operating at its full potential. With a waterproof system in place, this home will hopefully last another 50+ years. 

A homeowner from Lansing contacted us referring to her basement that had a weak foundation wall. She did not know how to fix it, so she called us. We drove to her home and installed Wall Anchors. We install these by digging a tiny hole in that are a few feet away from the home. Then we drill a steel rod through a 1-inch hole in the basement wall. After that, the rod connects to an anchor that is placed in the hole of the soil. Once we place the plates on afterward, we have permanently stabilized the basement. So now the homeowner doesn't have to worry about an unsafe basement ever again.

When it comes to waterproofing products, reliability is everything. As a homeowner, you want to know that your basement will stay dry no matter what. Unfortunately, just having any sump pump isn't going to do the job. You'll need a reliable sump pump. The SuperSump Upgraded this home to a more reliable pump. The SuperSump contains a pump stand (prevents clogging of any debris in the sump liner), pump alarm (for when the basement floods), and an airtight sump lid with a floor drain in it (helps water to go down but not air to come up). Now this homeowner can rely on her sump pump to get the job done right.
